> An Open Letter to Obama: On Racism in Denmark

The Danish author of 'American Pictures' Jacob Holdt, and Danish author and
columnist Rune Engelbreth, have published "An Open Letter to Barack Obama on
Racism in Denmark" as a video-message on Youtube and Facebook.

The authors are concerned about the rising influence of the anti-immigrant
Danish People's Party and hope to get the attention of the American 
President
Elect as well as the American public and media.

A new series of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed are about to be
published in Denmark where political discrimination and hate-filled rhetoric
directed against ethnic and religious minorities has become a dominating 
part of
mainstream politics.

A critical appraisal of the danger from our neighbors and friends abroad may
prove to be a helpful necessity, similar to the criticism directed at the 
USA in
the years when American politicians demonized their own black minority to
attract white voters. Many Americans today express gratitude for the
international support in those years and in line with the American 
ambassador to
Denmark James P. Cain, hope that Denmark can avoid repeating America's past
mistakes.
